Thanks, Chip and Bryan.<br>

I've beend thinking about it as well. <br>
But a reviewer with higher priviliges could check the review before
closing it. The "younger reviewer" will earn points only if the
"older reviewer" approves his work.<br>
<br>
I know some people could say - I'm too lazy to test or I'm too
awesome for testing, so I screw uploading my awesome theme.<br>
<br>
But guys, if WP has lazy developers it will become a huge garbage
than repository.<br>
There are a lot of themes and plugins with 1.0 version or which
haven't been updated for months and years. Plenty of times I noticed
bugs on forums and guess what. Nothing. Is that what we really want?<br>
<br>
Do we need few developers or a lot of fame-wanted lazy people?<br>

theme, first you must review one (or more)."<br>
<br>
1. Because theme authors are already contributing work for the
community. They're <i>already</i> donating their time, work and
effort for free, they should not have to do anything else. This
would be like paying someone $10 so that you have the privilege of
buying them a $5 hamburger, just doesn't make sense.<br>
<br>
2. Besides the fact that the community would simply miss out on
the potential themes from authors who said "Screw that.", of the
ones that did review, they would likely be one-off, half-assed
reviews, just enough to get by. I've seen similar methodologies
attempted in other review forums, "You must review a website
before your website can be reviewed." and it's just a waste of
time quality wise.<br>
<br>
Current wait time for review: 2 months<br>
Wait time for your theme to go live once it's been approved: About
a week<br>
